Python

Python is one of the most popular programming languages in the world.
We use Python because of its efficiency and simplicity.

What is Python?

Python is a programming language that was first created and released by Guido van Rossum, a Dutch programmer and former Google employee (currently working for Dropbox), in 1991.

Python is one of the most widely used programming language with a growing ecosystem.
Many schools and universities start with teaching Python to their students. Because of this we
can predict that Python and Python web development will have a stabile workforce in the
future.

Going more technical then Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming
language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built in data structures, combined with
dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for Rapid Application
Development, as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing
components together.

Python's simple, easy to learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of
program maintenance. Python supports modules and packages, which encourages program
modularity and code reuse. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are
available in source or binary form without charge for all major platforms and can be freely
distributed.

Main reasons for using Python for web development

Less code – efficient and simple

Ideal for web development – using Django framework for web programming

Easy to scale – when it’s time to step up your game

Rising star – easy to learn and widely studied

Why does Thorgate use Python?

Python programming language is legitimized and approved by data scientists. Because of that
it’s going to become part of the much bigger data movement, becoming the new black gold.

We at Thorgate also see it as the rising star of the programming and web development world.
Knowing how popular Python is and that it’s learned all over the world makes us feel at
peace with the possibilities to hire new high-level developers for creating awesome digital
products.
